While many people have spent their time in lockdown playing the popular game Animal Crossing New Horizons on the Nintendo Switch, at least one player has put in the work to ensure his in-game character doesn't miss Bitcoin's recent bullish activity. The game typically revolves around completing various simple tasks, like chopping wood and farming, in order to earn in-game currency that is used to buy items. Although the game is designed to be a relaxing, whimsical experience, it seems this isn't enough for at least one player, who instead opted to turn his in-game kitchen into a faux Bitcoin mining operation.

Blockchain in healthcare was meant to be. With such a large amount of sensitive data to store, the medical field can’t go without the most reliable method of recording, storing and sharing information.

Bitcoin’s block reward halved for the second time last week, from 25 to 12.5 bitcoins. The event, commonly referred to as “the halving” (or sometimes: “the halvening”), was a key moment in Bitcoin’s history. Such halvings are scheduled to occur once in about every four years, and they ensure that no more than 21 million bitcoins will ever be in circulation.

Every four years, sports enthusiasts are passionately waiting for the Olympics Games or the FIFA World Cup. The Bitcoin community has its own much-awaited event that occurs every four years or so – it’s the Bitcoin halving, also referred to as halvening. If you’re watching crypto news, you may notice the fuss about the upcoming halving. Indeed, Google searches for the term “Bitcoin Halving” surged to an all-time high.

Welcome to the Halvening. This event occurs once every four years, and this time in 2020, the production will cut from 12.5 to 6.25 Bitcoin mined globally every ten minutes. As for the production that gets lost, even I don’t know where it ends up.

The recent increase in reported incidents of surveillance and security breaches compromising users’ privacy call into question the current model, in which third-parties collect and control massive amounts of personal data. Bitcoin has demonstrated in the financial space that trusted, auditable computing is possible using a decentralized network of peers accompanied by a public ledger. In this paper, we describe a decentralized personal data management system ...

We have sat here for the last 3 years seeing only infrastructure apps like wallets and exchanges emerge on top of Bitcoin. Why is that? My theory has been that the scripting language in Bitcoin — the piece of every Bitcoin transaction that lets you run a little software program along with it — is too restrictive. Enter Ethereum. Ethereum has taken what was a four function calculator of a programming language in Bitcoin and turned it into a full fledged computer.

The state of Delaware has passed amendments to state law that make explicit the right to trade stocks on a blockchain, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter. Crammed in at the last minute before the state House went into recess, the measures were part of a broader series of amendments that legally recognized any number of records being stored on a blockchain.

In 2014, Joseph Poon and Thaddeus Dryja were bitcoin-obsessed engineers hanging out at pizza-fueled meetups in San Francisco. Their conversation often turned to the central problem of bitcoin: How to make it more useful? The bitcoin network’s design effectively limits it to handling three to seven transactions per second, compared with tens of thousands per second for Visa. Poon and Dryja recognized that for bitcoin to reach its full potential, it needed a major fix.

Just THE blockchain? A world of blockchains for blockchains is coming, and it might be closer than you think. Blockchain Interoperabilty: NATO's #interoperability system of systems interoperabiliity engineering framework i.e., sync delta's, structured data exchange alpha numeric brevity codes, symbol sets... is the best starting point - in my opinion. #Coindesk: The Opportunity for Interoperable Chains of Chains

We have always been trying to be pioneers in the cryptocurrency space. We started the first Bitcoin ATM in Austria and launched the first Austrian web platform for bitcoin trading. Also, we developed Bitcoinbon, which is currently available at over 4.000 merchants across the country. Our newest project also goes with this spirit. In our …

All good things must come to an end—and bad things, too. Bitcoin has had a hell of a ride over the last year, but that all seems to be over as almost 60 percent of its value has vanished in the last month. Enthusiasm in the cryptocurrency market is low as Bitcoin dropped below $8,000 for the first time since November.

"Grumpynitis," as he's known on Reddit, figured he had taken every precaution he needed to protect his crypto assets. After all, he worked as a security consultant to banks, governments and multinationals. He knew how to thwart hackers. Then he read about the armed robbery. And the kidnapping. And the swatting. And he grew, in his words, "quite paranoid," as he continued to perform his day job and realized the magnitude of the new threats the community was facing.

China will add offshore cryptocurrency exchanges and ICO websites to its Great Firewall, the South China Morning Post reported Monday, reported Feb. 5, quoting a publication affiliated with the People’s Bank of China (PBoC). Regulators in China reportedly voiced dissatisfaction with current measures restricting trading on domestic exchange sites, coming to a decision to block foreign sites as well to counter “financial risks”.

Many proponents of cryptocurrencies have often been bummed out about the general lack of interest among key U.S. stock market strategists to issue bitcoin price targets. However, the only major strategist from Wall Street who does it regularly seems to have continued betting on the most valued virtual currency in the world (by market cap). In his third such report since bitcoin’s downfall from a mid-December peak, Fundstrat’s Tom Lee has reasserted his optimistic outlook about the fate of the coin. If the name doesn’t ring a bell, Lee was J.P. Morgan’s top equity strategist before he co-founded Fundstrat Global Advisors back in 2014.

Bitcoin fell below $8,000 for the third time in four days on Monday amid a broader sell-off in cryptocurrencies that has seen over $60 billion of valued erased from the market in 24 hours. The price of bitcoin traded as low as $7,598.20 on Monday and sat below the $8,000 mark for most of the morning's trade, according to CoinDesk. It's the lowest price for bitcoin since November 18. CoinDesk's bitcoin price index tracks prices from digital currency exchanges Bitstamp, Coinbase, itBit and Bitfinex.
